The structure and curvature of the Earth results in beams of sunlight glancing off the equator and reaching other areas of the Earth. This means that the areas at the equator receive more energy as sun's rays hit them directly.
Therefore, the answer is C.

What is the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun?
expeople1 [14]

Answer: 3.524(10)^{22}N

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the force F exerted between two bodies of masses m1 and m2  and separated by a distance r  is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2}   (1)

Where:

G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}  

m1=1.99(10)^{30}kg is the mass of the Sun

m2=5.972(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

r=1.50(10)^{11}m  is the distance between the Sun and the Earth

Substituting the values in (1):

F=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}\frac{(1.99(10)^{30}kg)(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{(1.50(10)^{11}m)^2}   (2)

Finally:

F=3.524(10)^{22}N   This is the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun

The half-life of plutonium 239 is 24,200 years. Assume that the decay rate is proportional to the amount. Determine the amount o
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

time taken is equal to 14,156 years

Explanation:

we know,

Y=Ae^{-kt}

at t = 0

Y(0) = A

given that half life of plutonium 239 = 24,200

\dfrac{A}{2}=Ae^{-kt}\\0.5=e^{-kt}\\k\times 24200 = ln(2)\\k = \dfrac{ ln(2)}{24200}

Y=Ae^{-kt}

\frac{3}{2} = e^{-kt}\\ln(1.5)=-\dfrac{ ln(2)}{24200}\times t\\t=-\dfrac{ln(1.5)\times 24200}{ ln(2)}\\t=14,156 \ years

hence time taken is equal to 14,156 years
